If the sfx approach can be made to work without changes to WineTestBot
then it may be worth documenting somewhere on the Wiki.
Otherwise I'd rather modify WineestBot to accept .zip files in addition
to .exe ones. This would cause the zip file to be extracted in a
temporary directory, maybe not allowing subdirectories, and the one .exe
file it contains would be run. I think that process would be more
intuitive.
If we need to allow more than one exe, letting the user specify the
command to run should resolve any ambiguities.
